Shipper’s Responsibility

With exports growing substantially in numerous countries throughout the world, the need for specialized shipping services to transport dangerous goods is greater than ever. There are many regulations in place for shipping dangerous goods, and the penalties can be steep if these regulations are not fully adhered to. The movement of dangerous goods is complex when dealing with customs and the documentation that is required, so you will need an experienced shipping company that understands the complexities that are involved in order to effectively navigate the system. When dangerous goods are shipped, the responsibility of labeling dangerous goods, packing them correctly, and declaring them rests with the shipper. Our professional dangerous goods shipping team at Fastway Express will accept certain goods that are legal to ship, but we have terms and conditions that must be adhered to.

Unless you declare your items as dangerous, you must avoid the risk of harming others and avoiding fines by ensuring that your shipment is packaged and labeled correctly. Some items may be perceived as dangerous even if they aren’t, so you can prevent your shipment from being stopped or delayed by including the words “Not Restricted” on your documentation if your items are not restricted in any way. It is the responsibility of the shipper to ensure that the substances or items that they are shipping are not prohibited from being transported by air. The items must also be accurately classified, identified, marked, documented, packed, and labeled, in accordance with dangerous goods regulations that are set forth by IATA. The things that a shipper must do prior to packing dangerous/hazardous goods for shipment include but are not necessarily limited to the following:

Determine the Classification of Your Items

Identify All Dangerous Substances and Articles That Are in the Consignment

Assign the Dangerous Goods to 1 of the 3 Packing Groups in Its Class if Relevant

Assure That All Documentation is Accurate, Complete, and in Accordance with IATA Standards

Contact a Logistics Alliance Member That Has Experience with Dangerous Goods

Client’s Testimonials

What our customers are saying...

I was able to ship some food items from India to my family in the USA. The transit time was very fast and it all arrived in great condition. They loved getting some food from home! I will use Fastway Express again without hesitation, and will be recommending your courier services to others as well.

- Deepak, Head Chief

I had to get a package to a friend in London quickly. I never expected there would be enough time to get it there, but I was wrong! Fastway Express got my package delivered on time with room to spare, and it was handled very well since the delicate instruments inside were still in pristine condition! I would not be afraid to use their services again for urgent shipments.

- Padma, Lawyer

I was shipping some time sensitive documents to China and needed them there immediately. I was pleasantly surprised by both the professionalism and speed of delivery I received from Fastway Express. The documents arrived quicker than I had expected and at a very reasonable cost as well! I won’t use any other service from now on.

- Harij, Doctor

I was on a sight-seeing and trekking tour across India. I needed my family to ship some trekking equipment to me throughout the trip. I was in a different area every week but Fastway Express had no issues getting the shipments to me when I needed them! Their courier services made my trip much more enjoyable!

- Bob Maycomb, Accountant

My family and I were moving to India from outside the country. We needed a large amount of furniture and household items shipped with us. I had trouble finding a company that would take the variety and amount of items we had, until I found Fastway Express. They didn’t hesitate to accept our items and everything, right down to the box of picture frames, made it just fine! They made the hassle of international relocation much easier!
